Garden Hose Set 25m 19mm

A garden hose is a flexible tube specifically designed for transporting water, primarily for outdoor applications. This includes watering plants, cleaning patios or vehicles, or, as in the case of the SOS PUMP® Garden Hose Set, efficiently moving water in combination with a submersible pump.

The flexibility of a garden hose allows it to direct water over longer distances and around obstacles, which is essential for many gardening and household tasks. They are available in various lengths and diameters, with the diameter playing a significant role in water flow and pressure.

Modern garden hoses are often made of durable materials like PVC, rubber, or a combination of these, sometimes reinforced with fibers to prevent kinking and cracking. The quality of the material and construction determine the lifespan and performance of the garden hose under various conditions.

Choosing the right garden hose is crucial for efficiency and ease of use. There are several factors to consider to find the perfect match for your needs.

The length of your garden hose is one of the first considerations. Measure the distance from your water source to the furthest point where you need water. Add a little extra length for flexibility and reach. A hose that's too short is frustrating, while one that's too long can be unnecessarily heavy and require more storage space. The SOS PUMP® 25-meter Garden Hose Set offers ample reach for most applications around the home and garden.

The diameter of the garden hose is equally important, especially when used in conjunction with a pump, such as a submersible pump. A larger diameter (such as the 19mm or 3/4 inch in this set) ensures higher water flow and reduced pressure loss. This is essential for pumps, as a hose that is too narrow places unnecessary strain on the pump and reduces its capacity. For general gardening, a smaller diameter may be sufficient, but a larger diameter is recommended for quickly moving large volumes of water.

Also pay attention to the quality of the materials. Cheap hoses are often prone to kinks, cracks, and UV damage. High-quality hoses are kink-resistant, UV-stable, and can withstand higher water pressures. The SOS PUMP® Garden Hose Set is designed for strength and durability, which is essential for intensive use with a submersible pump.

Finally, consider the included accessories. A complete set, like this one, with a hose clamp and hose connector, gets you started right away without any additional purchases. Check that the connections are compatible with your water source and any pumps.

A garden hose is an indispensable tool, but with the right care and attention, you can significantly extend its lifespan and optimize its performance. Our specialists are happy to share their top tips.

Prevent kinking and twisting. Kinks in the garden hose not only impede water flow but can also cause permanent damage to the hose wall. Always neatly roll up the hose after use, preferably on a hose reel or trolley. This prevents kinking and keeps your garden tidy. When unrolling, be careful not to twist the hose.

Protect your garden hose from extreme temperatures. Don't leave it in direct sunlight for extended periods during the summer, as this can dry out the material and make it brittle. Frost is your biggest enemy in winter. Ensure no water remains in the hose when temperatures drop below freezing. Disconnect the hose, drain all the water, and store it in a frost-free location. This will prevent cracks and tears.

Clean the garden hose regularly. Dirt and algae can build up inside the hose, which can affect water quality and reduce flow. Rinse the hose thoroughly with clean water occasionally. For stubborn dirt, you can use a special hose brush.

Check the connections. Make sure the hose clamps and hose ferrules are secure and don't leak. A leaky connection not only wastes water but can also reduce water pressure. Replace worn washers or clamps promptly to ensure optimal performance.

What does 19mm or 3/4 inch mean for a garden hose? This refers to the hose's internal diameter. A larger diameter, such as 19mm (which corresponds to 3/4 inch), allows more water to flow through the hose at once, making it ideal for pumps and applications that require large amounts of water.

Can I use this garden hose with any submersible pump? The SOS PUMP® Garden Hose Set is designed for submersible pumps with a 1" male thread connection, thanks to the included hose. Always check the connection size of your submersible pump to ensure compatibility.

How do I prevent my garden hose from kinking? Always neatly roll up the garden hose after use, preferably on a hose reel. Avoid sharp bends and don't pull the hose tightly around corners. A high-quality hose with multiple layers is also less prone to kinking.

Should I drain the garden hose for the winter? Yes, absolutely. Water left in the hose can freeze and expand, causing it to burst. Disconnect the hose, drain all the water, and store it in a frost-free place.

What's the advantage of a complete garden hose set? A complete set like the SOS PUMP® Garden Hose Set offers the convenience of having all the necessary parts (hose, nipple, hose clamp) for a quick and efficient connection to your submersible pump, without having to search for individual parts.
